Answer:

of course. Business have obligations and duties towards many parties. we call these people "stake holders". in other words, they are either interested in the business and activities or are effected by the business activities.

for an example, the community and the environment the business operates in are stakeholders and the firm has responsibility to ensure an environmental friendly production and practices are carried out by the firm.

Government and tax authorities are another example. firm has to make sure that the required disclosures are made and proper taxes are paid timely.

To get the capital gain or loss, subtract the value at the date of death from the amount sold, which is $22,500 - $20,000 = $2,500

According to the long-run Phillips Curve:

Oxana [17]

Answer:

c. fiscal and monetary policies that impact aggregate demand do not impact the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

Short run Philips Curve is downward sloping, due to inverse relationship between unemployment rate & inflation rate. High economic activity implies more inflation rate, less unemployment. Low economic activity implies less inflation rate, more unemployment.

However, the inverse relationship between inflation & unemployment is only in short run & not in long run. In long run, this inflation - unemployment trade off doesn't exist. So, any fiscal or monetary policy affecting aggregate demand & consecutively inflation rate, do not affect the natural rate of unemployment (combination of frictional & structural unemployment rate) in long run.

The accounting equation that equals assets to liabilities and equity is always true at all times and with every correctly posted transaction. It implies that assets are financed through the contributions made by either the owners (equity) or the creditors (debts), or a combination of the two. This equation forms the basis for the double-entry system of financial accounting.
